A 23-year-old woman escaped unharmed when a load suspended by a crane shattered onto her car. The incident drew the attention of local police, the fire service, and the 112 emergency coordination center, all of whom coordinated the response to the scene.
The events unfolded around 17:25 when the crane rope at a building site on 96 Arabial Caddesi failed, sending a pallet of construction materials plummeting toward traffic below. Eyewitness accounts collected by emergency services describe a heavy pallet sack that landed on a moving vehicle in the vicinity, narrowly missing serious injury to its occupant. The moment was captured on social media by bystanders who described the scene as terrifying and dangerous, noting the swift arrival of responders.
In Granada, the accident occurred right outside the rear entrance of a large commercial center, prompting a rapid deployment of multiple ambulances and rescue units. The incident prompted a heavy, immediate response as crews stabilized the area and prepared for possible mass casualty scenarios. The event was confirmed by local authorities and emergency operators who worked to secure the site and manage traffic while investigators gathered details.
Firefighters, local police, and medical personnel acted promptly, with a mobile intensive care unit being stationed nearby in case advanced treatment became necessary. Within the wrecked vehicle, the driver was alone. Paramedics and police described the driver as having escaped with remarkable luck, a sentiment echoed by responders who noted the car’s position and the trajectory of the falling load.
The woman was initially treated in the public restroom facilities on site before being transported to a hospital for a thorough medical evaluation. Early examinations indicated that she did not sustain visible injuries, though medical teams continued to monitor for delayed effects.
The surrounding area was cordoned off while construction workers and crane operators worked to stabilize and remove the damaged crane. Local police initiated formal investigations to determine the cause of the rope failure and to assess any safety violations at the construction site. Throughout the operation, authorities stressed the importance of precautionary measures near active lifting equipment and the need for proper maintenance records to prevent similar incidents in the future.
